I don't think any school will teach AA kids about their culture, heritage and Africa. I think it's the parents job, if that is indoctrinated into the kid while the kid is growing up, the onslaught of the media will not be powerful enough to derail them.

I hear ya my u.k queen, and thats thats one of the problems as well that we as parents should work on more thorougly. But as a standard i think if we use any time that we possess, and thats when out and about with our children, or relatives, or at the dinner table, we should always speak upon positive things about our people whether than always speaking or conversing about negative aspects, in which the media feeds us way too much of!
See just like with negative brainwashing and negative pushing of a ideal, there is a sort of thing called positive brainwashing also where we could out perform the negative and racist media, by continually reinforcing being black and proud, and not settling for making our children and ourselves follow european/white traditional thinking, and it always starts with what we watch on t.v, movies, and of course the internet, in which more and more of our young brothas and sistas are into with the computer age! So thats why sites like these and any thing pro-black in life is always going to be a benefactor, because it will keep the pride and self-esteem high, that we continually lose by being fed anti-black american BS through the hollywood and news media of America!
